I’ve been leaving at 10-10:15 while the rest of my team works maybe another hour or two longer. I still get all my stuff done on time I’m trying to show everyone that staying that extra hour or two that late is not worth it. You’re there for maybe two hours but you’re so tired what you get done in those two hours might take you half the time the next day. Plus if you constantly work past midnight you burnout and become less productive. Studies have been done comparing people working 55 hours a week vs 70 hours and studies have shown those 15 additional hours are almost a waste of time. So my message is don’t stay past 10, go home, rest, and you’ll be more productive and efficient the next day.

I need help. I'm dealing with multiple losses in the same week and having a hard time... I took some time off from work but I have no motivation to do anything. I don't want to go back to work and don't care about my work right now. I want to quit but I don't want to make a rash decision but need a long break. It's also not fair to my team that I can't give it my 100%. What can I do?

Is this realistic to convey to any companies in an interview? Pandemic aside, is face time 9-7pm really important? Or should i just try to find a job with a salary that covers a nanny salary and accept that i will never see my son on weekdays (which would be sad for both of us)? TIA!

So, I started working full-time at a retail store for clothing and accessories and after a brief dispute with my supervisor (my bike broke down which made me come in 20 minutes late to y shift) they told me that it seems like working is not my priority, so to make it easier on me I would only get 20 hours a week. Things are tight as it is, I can't start working half-time. Please someone share some advice or any job opportunities you've seen out there
